Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange 4 salmon fillets in the center and 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears around them in a single layer.
  2. Step 2: Drizzle 3 tbsp olive oil evenly over the salmon and asparagus. Scatter 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1 thinly sliced lemon over the salmon fillets.
  3. Step 3: Season everything with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Use your hands or a brush to gently rub the seasonings and oil over the salmon and asparagus.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top just before serving to add a fresh herbal note.
